Double celebration. Mick and Jackie Pridmore, who are celebrating 30 years of running the Wharncliffe Arms pub in Chapletown, while the pub itself has reached its 140th birthday.

Glasses are being raised to Mick and Jackie Pridmore, who have been running the Wharncliffe Arms in Burncross Road, Chapeltown, for 30 years. “We’ve always kept a good atmosphere,” said Mick. “We have good ale, do our bit for charity, keep the garden nice.

People like coming here. Maybe sometimes too much. I’m sure we’ve been mentioned in the odd divorce: ‘He spends too much time in The Wharncliffe Arms’.” More than 200 customers toasted the anniversary last weekend.
